dc.description	Given that the magnitude and patterns of morbidity and mortality associated with the multiple extreme heatwaves that occurred in 2023 are still being determined, it is instructive to examine the human health consequences of a heatwave that affected the north-western United States of America and Canada over several days in late June and July 2021. This case study is drawn from the publication Adaptation Gap Report 2023. Relevant report is available at: https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/43796	en
